The high cost of asset loss
Large-scale public sector organisations with multiple distributed offices frequently experience high rates of shrinkage regarding high-value county assets. This includes critical IT equipment and office furniture. Without automated tracking at facility exits and public transition zones, organisations lack real-time visibility into unauthorised asset movement. The root cause is a reliance on manual tracking methods that cannot keep up with the constant flow of equipment across various departments.
This lack of visibility leads to significant negative consequences. Agencies face high costs associated with costly replacements and compromised security. Additionally, the time spent searching for misplaced equipment creates severe operational bottlenecks. These inefficiencies drain taxpayer funds and divert valuable municipal IT and facility staff away from strategic tasks, ultimately impacting the overall effectiveness of government operations.
The automated tracking and asset visibility solution
By deploying FX9600 Fixed RFID Readers and RFD40 UHF RFID Premium Plus Sleds, public sector organisations can create an automated tracking perimeter. These components work seamlessly together to address the challenge of missing equipment. This specific configuration delivers reduced asset shrinkage and faster inventory cycles by providing real-time alerts and rapid scanning capabilities.

How the solution works
Establishing an automated tracking perimeter
Deploying FX9600 Fixed RFID Readers with specialised RFID antennas at key facility chokepoints and exits creates a secure perimeter. These highly ruggedised fixed readers excel in high-density chokepoints to immediately alert security and facility managers if tagged equipment moves out of authorised zones. This reliable hardware is the ideal choice for deterring theft and preventing the accidental loss of valuable government assets.
Conducting rapid periodic physical inventories
Equipping facility and IT management teams with RFD40 UHF RFID Premium Plus Sleds allows staff to seamlessly update the central database. These mobile sleds empower workers to capture thousands of tags per minute while simply walking through office spaces. This efficient tool makes it incredibly easy to capture the location and status of all tagged assets; verifying taxpayer funded equipment remains exactly where it belongs.
Maximising public sector asset visibility and audit compliance
Investing in dedicated RFID tracking delivers immediate financial and strategic value by severely reducing taxpayer funded replacement costs. Agencies achieve complete end-to-end visibility and streamlined audit compliance with rapid time to value.
